2026 Getty Marrow Intern – Ellanora LoGreco

Ellanora LoGreco is a rising senior at Brown University where she studies Material Culture History and Ethnic Studies. She has been surrounded by craft most of her life, growing up in a family of artists and beginning to learn hand sewing and various fiber-based crafts when she was five years old. Now, Ellanora has her own craft practice that includes fashion and costume design as well as experimental archival research that uses making – usually the reconstruction of historical dress – to research tacit knowledge and supplement textual archives that exclude the voices and stories of women of color.

Ellanora is incredibly excited to work with an organization like Craft in America that foregrounds traditional craft practices and provides space for education and community engagement. She is particularly interested in learning about exhibition practices and exploring how technical knowledge can be displayed to the public, which is something that she hopes will inform how she approaches historical research and allow her to expand its audiences. Ellanora has spent dozens of hours attempting to research and learn particular handwork and making techniques and is familiar with the struggle of attempting to learn these methods without an expert to teach you. As a result, she hopes to spend the summer making a contribution to making craft knowledge more accessible to all and simultaneously learn as much as possible to inform her own art and research practices.
